Also @HermanG

Simone was 4th in total clutch minutes for the Jazz and was a team high +36 in the clutch.....

Thats fair and a good argument he has done well defensively in those situations. But he hasnt hit his shots in those situations, so its not like he is closing games for us.
 
I find the most interesting part about this trade is what it signals about how the Jazz FO is thinking....especially what it means for KO and JC tomorrow.

The second most interesting thing might be.....there hasn't been a single Jazz media member saying this is opening up the path for TH? Even Bryce got mentioned by TJ. This is a feel bad trade because the Jazz are kind of punting on the season, but usually that comes with the positive spin of "this clears the way for young player to get time". I see it with Ochai and Bryce, but no TH? What's going on there? Does Hardy really not like him that much?

I will say, TJ did kind of hint that there's more in store and that will be the TH playing time trade (prob KO).

Simone has been in the closing lineup in all of 11 games this year, shooting 25/22/0 in clutch minutes.

I hate arguing this though as I did like the guy.... but go find a paper bag.

He's on the court, he is closing games. His spacing is just as important as actually hitting shots. The sample size is 9 3's he could easily have hit his next two and be 4/11 and you wouldnt have this stupid argument.

Also, games exist that are closed outside of clutch minutes.

Is the DL over?

Besides if this turns out to be the only trade we make its FAR FAR less tanky than the LA trade.

And that trade wouldn't have kept us out of the play in if not for(fake) injuries to sexton, Clarkson, Lauri etc

Agreed. I think there's more in the pipe.

That's the point brother.

You are saying Hendricks is just as good at shooting as a way to cope even though its not true.

A "minutes for Hendricks" trade IS punting on the season.

Funny thing is that if Simone started the season we would have all been thinking we were tanking.
He was horrendous last year.
Sometimes players surprise you and play better than you thought they would
